Apparently most of the German Airforce Eurofighter Typhoons aren’t flight-able it has gotten so bad that in several cases they had to ask the French Airforce to handle interception duties in German Airspace. The German submarine fleet also is lacking in maintenance, apparently they can scramble only one submarine and only in emergency. And lets not even get started on how they rejected a new ship because it was listing. At least the Croatian Navy has the excuse of having old equipment produce in another country, the Germans apparently aren’t even capable to maintain new equipment that they produce.

They have to find out the root causes of this and fix. It may very well be that it is simply more economical to invest in some new warships.
